"Hello and welcome to the Krusty Krab, can I take your order?" I kindly smile with my hands behind my back, standing behind the cash register.
"Hmm.. I'll.. get a.." the customer puts a hand to his chin, looking up at the menu "A.. Krabby Patty please, oh and with cheese"
"Alright" I nod and write it down "Would you like a drink?"
"Hmm.." He goes back to thinking.
Meanwhile, Trace is peaking his head up through the window behind me, waiting patiently for the order.
"Do you guys have water?" He asks.
Is this guy serious?
"Yes we do" I nod again, forcing a smile.
"What about soda?" He scratches his chin, still reading the menu that only has 4 things on it.
"Yes.. we have soda, water and iced tea, and juice" My eyebrow twitches in annoyance.
"What about.. milk?" He taps his foot on the wooden floor, a line up slowly forming behind him.
"Yep" I sigh under my breath, nodding once again.
"Nah I'm not thirsty" He shakes his head.
"Okay.. is that all?" I continue to smile as I rip the paper from the note I was writing on.
"Hmm.." the man reaches into his pocket then laughs "Oh yeah, I left my wallet at home. Never mind" He turns and leaves the restaurant.
My eye lids start twitching, crumbling up the paper and tossing it across the room.

After work

I wait outside for Trace to finish cleaning up, sitting down with my legs crossed, leaning against the outside wall.
A short boy with a dark green Hoodie covering his face; walks up to me, taking his lovely time.
I watch him Boredly, blinking multiple times "Hey Plankton"
"Who's Plankton.." He raises his head, letting his hood fall back, there's a fake mustache glued underneath his nose, with his usual eyepatch.
I burst out laughing while pointing at him, kicking my legs around.
His face turns red in embarssemnet, stomping his foot like a kid "Dammit!"
Another one of his attempts to take a Krabby Patty.
My laugh turns into Chuckles, then finally dies down; watching Plankton stomp away, back across the street to his home/restaurant.
"Im ready!" Trace opens the glass doors and grins, doing a heroic pose.
"Yay" I smile and hop to my feet, doing a little happy dance.
He giggled softly, lifting his shoulders a bit.
"So, about that bird catching?" I look at him with a cocky smile, raising an eyebrow.
"What about it?" In return he puts a hand on his hip and gives me a sassy look.
"Beat you there!" Before I even finish my sentence I sprint away with all my might.
"No fair!" Trace yells with a pouty face, sprinting after me.
I giggle and slow down a bit so he could catch up, looking behind me to smile at him.
He's soon running beside me with his usual cheerful smile, keeping his eyes ahead of us.
"Aww shucks! How'd you catch up?" I slouch and bend my knees a bit, making my voice crackley and deep, slowing down until I'm walking slowly.
"I got the magic touch" His body is shaking, his legs unbelievably wobbly, his hand on his back.
"Youngsters these days" I shake my head and give him a grouchy face.
We stare at each other for a while, a few people passing us with weirded out expressions.
The staring contest continues until Trace bursts out laughing, softly clutching his stomach, me joining him soon after.
